Sewing 101 Intensive
If you're interested in learning to sew, this is the class for you! We'll offer small group instruction to a max of 10 students per session, starting with the basics and graduating to increasing their sewing skills with each project. Students will work together to complete 3 projects during the 6 week session. Classes meet for 2 hours per week.
In this course you will learn all the basics of the timeless craft of sewing. By the end of the series, you will have confidence in using a sewing machine independently and will have gained a wealth of knowledge including the following: proper sewing techniques (pinning, cutting, etc.), the basics of bag making, working with zippers, reading and using patterns, the basics of garment construction, working with various fabric types, and more!
We'll start with a simple drawstring bag to build your confidence. The next project is a set of zipper pouches, then finally we'll tackle pajama pants to give you a solid foundation for garment sewing and construction.
Each participant must have a sewing machine in good working order and understand the basic of their machine. We will spend time in the first class reviewing threading your machine and winding a bobbin. Please have your machine manual with you in case we need to refer to it.
We have a limited number of sewing machines available to rent during class sessions, so if you would like to rent one, please check with us for availability prior to registering.
